Mustapha Dumbuya avows to bring a bit of joy to deprived communities

Sierra Leone is one of the poorest countries in West Africa with a population of approximately seven million.

It has beautiful beaches, natural resources, sixteen tribes and rich cultures.

Despite these unique attributes the country is facing lots of challenges, ranging from poor health facilities and malnutrition to lack of basic necessities and amenities. 

Especially for those living in the slum and other deprived communities as a way to give back to his country, Leone Stars right back, Mustapha Dumbuya is set to give a little bit of joy to deprived communities this Christmas season.

According to Dumbuya, he grew up not too far from the Kroo Bay area in a country rich with rivers and rain fall but challenged with numerous atrocities.

"Those living in developed countries take these issues for granted but here in Sierra Leone malaria, child mortality and malnutrition have plagued us for decades.

I have witnessed families struggling   for basic human necessities, he stated sadly.

“The passionate right back, Dumbuya, pleaded to philanthropists and well-wishers to come out and support him in this charitable endeavor, so that he can provide foodstuffs for people living in some deprived communities.

"We make our living by what we get, but we make life worth living for by what we give out to the needy," Mustapha Dumbuya concluded.

The project is an annual venture which he and his family will embark on every December through his charity, Mustapha Dumbuya (MD24) Foundation.
